RAY

When friends say that we are unique,
I know that it is true --
You're were so much more 
than just a spouse;
You've been my best friend, too.
The friend who shares my dearest dreams,
The feelings of my heart,
Who's never far away from me
Though we're far apart, yet
so close to each other
You made my days, my world, my life
So meaningful and new --
And that is why I'll always be
So much in love with you. 
I will always miss you.

Love you, Honey!!!

YOUR WIFE----JOYCE

ALWAYS BLESSINGS
NEVER LOSSES



















Our Heart

You are the heart of the family
And we miss you every day
But the love you gave to us
Will help us light our way.

You taught us so very much
To love others without reserve
We will try to make you proud
It's the legacy you deserve.

You're such a special man
The base of our family tree.
The memories will never fade
In our hearts you will always be.

Although you had to leave us
We know with certainty
That we'll be together again
For all of eternity. 


                                   THANK YOU DONNA FOR THE GRAPHICS
   


  I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE GONE.
I GO TO SLEEP MISSING YOU ,
AND AWAKE REALIZING THAT I HAVE
TO SPEND THE REST OF
MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU.
I HAVEN'T COME TO GRIPS WITH WHAT
HAPPENED YET, PERHAPS I NEVER WILL,
THE GRIEF IS OVERWHELMING.
I GRIEVE FOR YOU EVERY MINUTE 








                                        thank you Donna 

















Delightful and loving,
Loved and admired,
Ray, you're my hero,
My life you've inspired.
And when all my blessings
Are counted each day,
I thank God in heaven
For you when I pray. 




Ray,
 thanks for your presence
Throughout thick and thin;
You were more than my husband,
YOU WERE & ARE
 EVERYTHING TO ME








 Rainbows represent 
the end to all
suffering. 
And Gods promise of hope. 



We have hope we will see you
again some day soon.
Until then we'll be missing
you and loving you.


















                                THANK YOU JUDIE FOR THE GRAPHICS







WE HAD MORE THAN 12
WONDERFUL YEARS TOGETHER 





So many years we spent together
Loving partners throughout our life.
And even after all those years
I am so proud to say I'm your wife.

And when I said, I take thee Ray
I meant it with all my heart.
I knew when I looked in your eyes
We would never be apart.

No words can ever express
The depth of my love for you
Or how my heart is breaking
I have never been so blue.

I know one day my darling
That together we'll someday be.
And when that day is upon us
Please wait at the gate for me. 



LOVING YOU ALWAYS
-YOUR WIFE 
JOYCE


                                                                            THANK YOU DONNA




OCTOBER 2,1993

 Joyce
With you,
I've shared each moment,
The best years of my life.
I'm glad I was your husband,
I'm proud you were my wife.




Until I Fell In Love With You

I never realized
that one person
could light up
my whole world...
until I saw
you smile.

I never dreamed
that one touch
could change my life...
until you took
my hands in yours...

I never knew
that I could love someone
so deeply, completely,
and endlessly...
until I fell in love with you 


                                          thank you sarah





ONE DAY CLOSER TO YOU

I sometimes ask the Lord
Why he took you before me,
And though he's never answered-
I guess it was meant to be.

I tell myself you're watching,
That you're never really far away,
I sometimes feel the slightest touch
When I bow my head to pray.

I know heaven must have a window
With no curtain to hide the view,
I know you probably stand there often
And watch me missing you.

I know you're helping me to go on,
You're guiding me through the pain,
I somehow sense you're telling me,
There's more sunshine now then rain.

Each new day now dawns with meaning,
Something inside of me rings so true,
Today will slip into yesterday
And I'll be one day closer to you! 








                                          Thank you sarah
















I whisper your name
.... to myself.
I whisper
.... I love you.
I whisper
....I still think of you.
I whisper
....Goodnight and till we meet again.
I whisper....
Take care and hope your angel ears
can hear my whispers here on earth.
I whisper
....because I am afraid that if 
I speak too loud,
my heart will hear and break again.... 

So I just whisper... Ray






"WISHING ON A

 FALLING STAR"
IF ONLY MY WISH
WOULD COME TRUE.
























Tears.

Oh, how I've cried Ray
Cried for all the good times.
Cried for the things
you will never see,
Cried for what was meant to be.

So many Tears.
What do they amount to?
Nothing.
Treasuring the memories
I have of you.
Mourning the years you have lost.
Yearning for you my sweetheart.

Tears of guilt,sorrow,
regret. even happiness.
So many emotions flooding
through me on this
rollercoaster of grief.

Only If.
Tears shed for You.
Tears shed missing You.
Loving You.

All these Tears Ray
All for You.

Tears. echoing the pain
held in my heart.
The overwhemingly pain
that consumes me daily.

Tears flowing from the
bottom of me heart.
sobbing for the lost moments,
memories,the happier times.

Years will pass.
But what will remain.
Pain,Love,Sadness,
The Tears. 



cant live without you
cant breathe without you
cant sleep without you
cant eat without you

wont be the same without you
cant be the same without you
never be the same without you
life is wrong, without you

life has stopped without you
my world has stopped without you
my heart wont beat without you
i need you.










I WILL LOVE YOU WITH EVERY
BEAT OF MY HEART



God knows how much I miss you,
Never shall your memory fade,
Loving thoughts shall ever wander,
To the spot where you are laid.
Though absent you are ever near,
Still missed and loved, always dear










Remembering

Go ahead and mention my loved one,
the one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further,
The depth of my pain doesn't show.

Don't worry about making me cry,
I'm already crying inside,
Help me to heal by releasing,
the tears that I try to hide.

I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
pretending he didn't exist,
I'd rather you mention Ray
knowing that he has been missed.

You ask me how I am doing,
I say "pretty good" or "fine",
But healing is something ongoing,
I feel it will take a lifetime.




Loving you everyday;
is all I seem to do,
I don't want you to forget,
that I'm waiting to be with you.
I'm not really sure how it works up there,
are you waiting for me too?
I hope you don't forget me,
because I'm already sad and blue.

I'm trying to be strong,
as you would want me to be.
I'm doing my very best,
as you can probably see.
I learned all this from You,
I know this is what I need to do.

I'll wake up
every morning,
and try to carry on.
Trying NOT to remember,
My True Love is GONE.
I'll try to do all the things,
that need to be done.
I'll do them while thinking
of my Hun.

So with my time I have,
I will try to make it great,
When all I want to do,
is stand in line and wait.
For that day

JOYCE 

A Heart Once Whole

A heart once whole, filled with joy,
That sang with gladness each new morn,
Is torn and bleeding, jagged wounds
Hiding pain behind a mask that's worn.

No one can see the terrible scars,
Shattered heart that can not sleep.
It's hidden well, silently screaming
Cradled in a pool of tears, so deep.

A wife's heart is strong and sturdy
To hold the love and pain it must bear.
But when it loses the husband it loves
Ripped apart, it lies bleeding there.

How can a heart so hurt and broken,
Have the strength for carrying on?
How can it find the courage and will
With so much of it torn away and gone?

Questions, no answers. Broken hearts
Still beat. No reason for How or Why.
Will it mend? Will it ever feel joy?
Healing so slowly as time passes by.

Waiting and longing for THAT time
To see you, touch you once again!
One day at a time is all I can do.
Heaven is where broken hearts mend.







I will say unto the Lord,
Thou art my hope and my stronghold;
my God, in Him will I trust.




You will have sorrow:
but I will see you again, &
your heart shall rejoice,
& your joy no man taketh from you.
John16:22."





There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear.
But always a precious
memory of the days
when you were here." 








"You gain strength, courage, 
and confidence by every experience 
in which you really stop
 to look fear in the face. 
You must do the thing 
which you think you cannot do. "

Eleanor Roosevelt




Forever Changed

Can you see the change in me?
It may not be so obvious to
you I participate in family activities.
I attend family reunions..
I help plan holiday meals.

You tell me you're glad to
see that I don't cry anymore.
But I do cry!
When everyone has gone -
when it is safe- the tears fall.
I cry in privacy so my family
won't worry. I cry until I am
exhausted and can finally sleep.
You tell me you admire
my strength and
my positive attitude.

But I am not strong,
I feel that I have lost control;
and I panic when I
think about tomorrow....
next week.... next year.
I go about the routine of my job.
I complete my assigned tasks.
I drink coffee and smile.

You tell me you are glad to see
I'm "over" the death of my loved one.
But I'm not "over" it. If I get overit,
I will be the same as before
my loved one died.
I will never be the same.

At times I think I
am beginning to heal
but the pain of losing someone
I loved so much has left a
permanent scar on my heart.
I visit my neighbors.

You tell me that you're glad to
see I'm holding up so well.
But I'm not holding up well.
Sometimes I want to lock
the door and hide from the world.
I spend time with my friends,
I seem calm and collected.
I smile when appropriate.
You tell me it's good to see
me back to my "old self"
But I will never be
back to my "old self".
Death and grief,
have touched my life....

and I am changed forever. 



    
"RAY "






The Widow's Cry

She sits and stares in silent loneliness,
aching for his touch, 
his reassuring voice.
Lost in sorrowful pain 
in a deep lonely abyss,
filled with tears, 
a heart broken without choice.

Reaching out in desperation 
for his loving kiss,
or to borrow warm
 flesh to substitute 
that which is missed.
To feel again the strength
 and passion of her man,
to take and give once 
again all that she can.

To feel the warm caress 
of his love in her heart,
and to once again her
 lonely pain depart.
To the cold grave beside
 him she longs to go,
to sleep forever in the
 arms of the love they know.

She hears his voice 
and looks to find no trace,
of his warm and 
tender loving face.
Nor hears his footsteps
 fall or voice echo in the hall,
for he has gone, 
he has answered God's call.

Once again to hear
 him laugh or even cry.
or even just another 
chance to say goodbye.
She whispers, "I love you Ray, 
why have you gone?"
Then she hears a voice reply, 
"Hush!! my darling, don't cry, 
we shall never say goodbye, 
for our love can never die"

"Take our dreams my sweet love and 
live them for us both,
for with you my darling it has 
been an honour to be betroth.
Think of the good times 
and the warm love we shared,
our laughing and sad times
 together can't be compared."




Never a tear falls God won't see.
 Never a moment when God won't care.
 Never a moment when 
He won't hear a prayer 










Ray

 You were a man that loved with all his heart.
You always had a gentle spirit about you
I miss you so much. 
Just the touch of your hand on my face, 
Your smile 
I miss your voice that told me
you loved me many time a day.
 all this, I will never forget.
I will always love you 
you will remain a part of 
my heart forever






Red roses are a symbol of undying love. 
May you always feel the 
love of your angel when 
you see a rose.



Memories of our loved ones 
will keep them with us forever. 



We can all be angels to one another. 
We can choose to obey the
still small stirring within,
 the little whisper that says,
Go. Ask. Reach out.
 Be an answer to someone's plea.
You have a part to play. Have faith.'
We can decide to risk that 
He is indeed there, watching,
 caring, cherishing
us as we love and accept love. 
The world will be a better place for it.
And wherever they are, the angels will dance."
-Joan Wester Anderson




And God said,

I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, "I know."
I said, "I cry alot."
And God said, "
That's why I gave you tears."
I said, "Life is so hard."
And God said, "That's why
 I gave you loved ones."
I said, "But my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "It's such a
 great unbearable loss."
And God said, 
"I saw mine nailed to the cross."
I said, "But your Son lives."
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "Where are they now?"
And God said, "My Son 
is by my side and your
 Angel is in my arms....." 




A Grandfather Like You

Throughout the years, you've always been
A wonderful man you see
When I was small you took the time
to bounce me on your knee.

As I grew older you were there
I only had to call
I knew that I could count on you
You'd never let me fall.

So many hard times in my life
You've helped to get me through
I'm so glad God gave me
A grandfather as special as you.

What Makes a Father Or
a Grandfather

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad 
He added wisdom
and called him Grandad



TO MY STEPDAD "RAY"
I LOVE AND MISS YOU
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY IN HEAVEN

Our fathers toil with hands and heart
To make our lives complete.
They quietly brave the winter cold,
Endure the summer heat.

Our fathers' lives are busy, but
There's always time for us.
They boldly face the ups and downs
And seldom ever fuss.

Our fathers are the greatest dads.
We know you know this, too.
But thank you for the chance to share
Our love for them with you.



Farewell My 
Precious PawPaw

Farewell my precious PawPaw
Your race on earth is done
You now live in Heaven
With God and his gracious son
Although my heart mourns for you
and my eyes are filled with tears
I am thankful that I had you
to love and guide me through the years
Yoy were always an inspiration
Your strength, it knew no bounds
I know that God has blessed you
with many Heavenly crowns.
So, farewell my precious paw paw
You will always be in my heart
i will remember your gentle teachings
From which I'll never part.
~Unknown





What Is A Dad

The joy of a morning in spring,

I drove into the cemetery
With tears in my eyes today
I placed a flower upon your grave
And bowed my head to pray

Looking at the simple marker
Nothing fancy, or overdone
I couldn't help but cry as I read
The birth and death of my husband

I told you how much I missed you
Your face I could clearly see
You have died, but are not lost
You will always be a part of me

So I'll say good bye for a little while
Sleep in peace and always know
I didn't want to give you back to God
He took your hand, and I had to let go

Some people dream of angels,
I held one in my arms



UNCLE RAY
WE WILL ALWAYS
LOVE YOU

We think about you always,
we talk about you still,
you have never been forgotten
and you never will.
We hold you close within our hearts,
and there you will remain,
To walk and guide us through our lives
until we meet again.



"We miss and love you 
so much Uncle Ray 
you always opened your heart 
and home to us 
we miss your love and warmth."




PawPaw is LOVE

Love is you
And always will be
because we love you.
We will both be in each
others heart because that
is what love is. 
we will always love you!!




My Precious PawPaw

I wish I could see you one more time
Come walking through the door,
But I know that is impossible,
I will hear your voice no more.
I know you can feel my tears
And you don't want me to cry,
Yet my heart is broken
Because I can't understand why,
Someone so precious had to die.
I pray that God will give me strength,
And somehow get me through,
As I struggle with this heartache
That was caused by losing you.
~Unknown~




Grandpa

Delightful and loving,
Loved and admired, 
Grandpa you're my hero,
My life you've inspired.
 And when all my blessings
Are counted each day,
I thank God in heaven
For grandpa when I pray. 
grandpa thanks for your presence
Throughout thick and thin;
You're more than a grandparent
You're my wonderful friend. 




The Ring 



She walks alone
waiting for him to return
everyone wonders 
why she just can't see
She is waiting by a door 
that will never open
A sun that will never rise
But they never saw the
 love she did in his eyes
They talk to each other 
now through their dreams
She remembers the day
 he gave her that beautiful ring
And the day that she gives up
on the door that supposedly
 will never open
is the day she returns the ring to him
While he is lying in a coffin
Being lowered into the sand
With all their hopes, dreams, and memories
Locked on one woman's hand. 




Until We Meet Again

Each morning when I awake 
I know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As I try to carry on.

My heart  still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

My thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again. 

I hold you close within my heart,
And there you will remain,
To walk with me throughout my life
Until we meet again.

My family chain is broken now,
And nothing will be the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again



           






"I LOVE MY
HUSBAND"




HE WAS DEFINITELY



I WILL LOVE YOU 

As long as I can dream,
As long as I can think,
As long I have memory...
I will love you
As long as I have eyes to see
and ears to hear
and lips to speak...
I will love you.
As long as I have a heart 
to feel,a soul stirring with in,
An imagination to hold you...
I will love you.
As long as there is time,
As long there is love,
As long as I have a breath
to speak your name...
Because I love you more than anything...
In all the world.














TO MY WIFE








At night
At night I lay and think of you hoping
my wishes and dreams come true
At night I wonder can this be t
he end is this all that's left
At night I wish we could go
to the way things were
At night I lay and cry about the things
that happened and how it all ended
At night I lay and think of us, I mean you and I
At night I realize there's no more us
At night I dream of us together again
At night I wish for us to be together again
But in the morning I realize it was all
A dream.




An emptiness fills the room.
A sorrow fills my soul.
Tears ripple through my body,
Shuddering out of control.
I know that you feel no pain.
Happy in your new home.
But constantly we weep,
Feeling so alone.
We miss your smile,
I really miss your hugs .
,But most of all your love.
I’m sure one day in heaven,
We will all meet again.
But in all honesty Ray
Until then I just can’t understand…..

I love you and miss you every day



THE TEARS WON'T STOP FALLING




My Spouse Has Gone

Disturbed in bed again I wake
The truth is close at hand
In tears my head begins to shake
It's hard to understand

I'd turned to call  Ray's name
But then I had to weep
The pillow there was just the same
As when I went to sleep

I'd sought my love to touch again
My hand began to slide
But then Oh God the aching pain
The emptiness inside

Another day just like before
So empty cold and bare
I raised my eyes towards the door
Where last my love was there

How sad each time I'd cook a meal
Then eat it on my own
Oh God you know just how I feel
To sit here all alone

Oh why my God had we to part?
How deep is my despair
Please heal Your servants broken heart
Whilst here I kneel in prayer

Yet still I bless Your holy name
Although my love's at rest
I know my God You're not to blame
For you alone know best

I know my prayer has
 reached Your throne
I know You watch above
I know in You I'm not alone
I thank you for your Love 




The days are getting longer,
I miss you dearly.
You're my one and only,
I love you sincerly.

Though we're not together,
And we're so far apart,
We'll Always be together,
Inside my heart.

It's hard not being with you,
Spending time away.
I wish I could be with you,
Each and every day.

While we're apart,
My love holds strong.
Soon we'll be together,
Where we belong.

But until that day comes,
I will hold you in my heart.
I will think of you always
While we're apart.

So don't give up, it'll work.
Just wait, you'll see.
I will hold you in my arms,
Together in heaven
 we will be.

But while you're away,
Please remembers these
 words I say are true.
Baby, your the greatest.
Sweetheart, I love you. 




LOVE IS A GIFT
SO PRECIOUS AND RARE--
THERE IS
NO GREATER TREASURE
THAT TWO HEARTS
CAN SHARE.



LOVE IS WHAT I FEEL EACH TIME
YOU SMILE OR TOUCH MY HAND,

LOVE IS HOW WE KNOW
EACH OTHERS THOUGHTS
AND UNDERSTAND,

LOVE IS ALL THE JOYS WE SHARE,
THE HAPPINESS YOU BRING, 



LOVE IS WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME---
AND YOU MEAN EVERYTHING



Remember Me

To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea, Remember Me.
As you look upon a flower
and admire it’s simplicity, Remember Me.
Remember Me in your hearts, your thoughts,
and your memories of the times we loved
the times we cried,
the times we fought,
and the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me,
I will never be gone. 





LAST NIGHT WHILE I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP
MY HUSBAND'S VOICE DID I HEAR.
I OPENED MY EYES AND LOOKED AROUND,
BUT HE DID NOT APPEAR.

HE SAID::: JOYCE YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN,
YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND;
GOD DIDN'T TAKE ME FROM YOU.
HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND.

WHEN I CALLED OUT IN PAIN THAT DAY,
THE INSTANT THAT I DIED.
HE REACHED DOWN AND TOUCHED MY HAND,
AND PULLED ME TO HIS SIDE.

HE PULLED ME UP AND SAVED ME,
FROM THE MISERY AND PAIN.
MY BODY WAS SO BADLY HURT,
I COULD NEVER BE THE SAME.

MY SEARCH IS REALLY OVER NOW,
I'VE FOUND HAPPINESS WITHIN,
ALL THE ANSWERS TO EMPTY DREAMS,
AND ALL THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

I LOVE YOU ALL AND MISS YOU SO,
AND I'LL ALWAYS BE NEARBY.
MY BODY'S GONE FOREVER.
BUT MY SPIRIT WILL NEVER DIE.

AND SO, YOU MUST ALL GO ON NOW,
LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME,
JUST UNDERSTAND!
GOD DIDN'T TAKE ME FROM YOU,
HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND. 





Brokenhearted...
How can I bear the pain?
So many plans . . . permanently interupted.
So many dreams . . . shattered.
Hopes . . . dashed.
All gone.
Why?
Why this?
Why us? Why me?
Helplessness . . . hopelessness . . .
Life will never be the same again.
Is it even worth living?
Where are you, God?
I'm right here beside you, my child.
Even though you may not feel my presence,
I'm holding you close under the shadow of my wings.
I will walk with you through this dark night.
Do not shrink from weeping.
I gave you tears for emotional release.
Don't try to hide your grief.
Let it become for you a source of healing.
A process of restoration,
For I have planned it so.
Those who mourn shall be comforted
I'll be holding on to you,
Even when you feel you can't hold on to me.
Seek my face, child of mine.
Receive my promise, impossible as it may seem now,
That joy will come in the morning.
It may take much time,
But I will heal your broken heart,
I know the night seems endless,
But MORNING WILL COME.
I have promised. 




EVERYTIME THE SUN SHINES,
I KNOW THAT YOU AND GOD,
ARE WALKING HAND IN HAND. 




















My Own Backyard 


Dear Lord, 
when things get hectic

And living seems so hard,

I just go out and sit awhile,

Within my own backyard. 


*For there it's quiet and peaceful,

Beneath the shady trees,

And sunlight through the branches,

Accompanies every breeze.

***

There are a dozen shades of green,
Designed to please the eye,

Chubby squirrels and humming birds,

....A golden butterfly.

***

The honeysuckle's perfume,
Permeates the air,

And though I do not see Him,

I know that God is there.

***

The sky above my head,
Is electric blue,

And there are lazy cotton clouds,

With nothing else to do,

But sail across the heavens,

And yet I know that I

Was given hope whose sturdy wings

Were also meant to fly.

***

This old world we inhabit,

Is much the worse for wear,

Beauty fades so quickly

And hearts forget to care,

***
But somehow I've discovered,

Within my own backyard,

A peaceful sanctuary,

.... In which I find the Lord. 




   

         
















Keep My Memory

Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die;
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.

I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air;
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.

You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch;
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.

When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone;
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.

I will always be with you,
I will never go away;
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day.




Heard the rhythym of the raindrops
Dripping to the ground.
Heard the rhythm of the raindrops
Dropping all around.
Heard the rhythm of the raindrops
Drumming on the rafter.
Heard the rhythm of the raindrops
Drowning out our laughter.



































SENDING YOU HUGS & KISSES
your wife.....JOYCE

loving you forever and a day
